Kia ora, I'm Chantelle and I am the Centre Manager here at Christopher and Robin.

I have been involved in Early Childhood for many years and my passion is building strong relationships, practising respectful care and celebrating with the tamariki as they learn and grow while having fun!

I love being apart of a team that works together to support the tamariki and whanau for the best outcomes on their learning journeys.

I have 3 children of my own and we love to spend time with extended family and explore the beaches!

Hi I'm Kim

​

​

My name is Jalnena but most call me Jal (my Dad made my name up).  I have 4 children Isla, Roman, Jake and Cora who also attends Christopher and Robin.  We live rurally in Mangakaramea, where we have a cat and chickens.  I am also a photographer and balance my weekends spending time with my family.  I have always enjoyed working with Children and love providing the tamariki at our centre with healthy nutritious meals.

Kia ora, I joined the Potential Plus Education Team in 2019, providing operational support to Christopher & Robin and several other preschools in Auckland and Waihi. My background is in Business and Marketing, and previously I worked at Sanitarium as the brand manager for Weet-Bix and Marmite.

My favourite part of working with C&R is getting to spend time with the amazing team and being in the centre with our tamariki. It's such a privilege to be to be involved in the education and care of the next generation.

Kia ora koutou!

I'm Stacey, I've been in the centre for a couple months now, so it's about time I introduced myself.

I have previously worked in ECE at Parua Bay Childcare from 2014-2018 as an unregistered teacher whilst also studying small business management and accounting. I took the chance as it allowed me to go back to work after my second child but also allowing me to be apart of her journey at daycare. I had always had a passion for working with young children and I feel extremely privileged to have had the opportunity to engage in a career that is so rewarding. From late 2018 I decided to take up an opportunity to work from home in a office Manager/administration position for a local business which I thoroughly enjoyed and also allowed me a bit more flexibility with my whanau. This gave me a lot of experience in the administration field and now I’m here at Christopher and Robin Early learning centre getting the best of both worlds!

I have four tamariki of my own - my eldest is 13 and he is at Whāngarei Boys High, I have two daughters 5 and 8 years old who both go to Kokopu School , and my youngest son Grayson who is two.

I have already had the pleasure of meeting a lot of you, and look forward to meeting the rest of you. I feel so blessed to be working with such a dedicated and passionate team of teachers, and I am loving sneaking into the rooms and spending time with your tamariki and supporting their learning journeys any chance I get between my admin duties!
